A great policy for a major risk

Cancer is New Zealand’s biggest killer. Of course, many people survive a bout, but that may depend on the treatment they receive.

Now there’s a new type of insurance cover that’s expressly designed to provide you with more options in the case of a cancer diagnosis.

What we like about this policy is the way it provides up to $500,000 for things the public system may not cover. So you could give up work to fight the disease, travel overseas for treatment, or get access to the latest drugs that aren’t funded by Pharmac. Every week there seems to be a sad story of a young person who’s set up a Givealittle appeal just to have a chance of staying alive. With cancer cover, no one will need to ‘give a little.’

Because cancer care insurance is totally focused on cancer, it’s quite affordable. So if you don’t want the expense of comprehensive health insurance, this cover could be perfect.
